Page 10 of We haven`t played Mornington Crescent in a while...

Mill Hill East a oldecounter  move for those unwisely playing of Plaistow on the last Tuesday of November, if only you`d waited until Wednesday.



My outlook on life is positive & carefree, I`m positive that I`m a pessimist & I don`t care what what you think.



Never has so little had to be explained by me to so many so often.

ooooh...and indeed ahhhhh!!...

You`ve sent us into a Northern Line cul-de-sac at a time when the trains weren`t even running. This leaves very few moves available, but according to the Hoxton Rulebook (Fifth Edition, ed. Kevin Shostakovitch III, 1954) I believe Im able to back up slightly and take us to Old Street (although this risks a penalty fare, to be paid in full by the person who makes the next move).

But you can avoid that using a sneaky double back... see this...

Very sneaky, I do beleive with it being the last wednesday of the month & the last day of the month, we can now play the move as originally executed during the Lithgo-Garp game of 1979 IIRC.

Becontree.

Hmmm, I can;t see many moves from there which won`t end in Nidd.

I think I`ll play it safe with Dagenham Heathway and hope a more experienced player can see something I can`t!

Hmmm given it`s proximty to an old car manufacturing plant, I`ll invoke the old 1977 First Hanshot trick, not to be confused with the later heavily condemned ammendment in 1997 of the Second Hanshot.

Amersham which is about as far far away as I can get from Dagenham in this game (Though I did get THO rather further away from Dagenham ;) ).

Aha, by a proxy move I can now play...

Redbridge!


Oh wait, that places me in Nidd. ARRGH! Where is the undo button?

I`m afraid you are well and truly scuppered for at least 2 moves there Rob, although for the next player, I understand the Tucker-Jenkins `sausage-on-a-fork` manoeuvre first seen in the 1970s can begin a slingshot around the Central Line, pausing briefly at

Grange Hill

Hmmm that place isn`t as well fixed as you might think, the Todd Sun Hill Krull Carty uncertainty principle from the 80`s to the present days meant that Grange Hill spontaneously shifted it`s location for no adequately explored reason.

I think we need to follow the geographically non fixed location with another one somewhere neverwhere.

Borough
